Having different things appeal to different players is the way that we keep a broader audience engaged and how we appeal to new players... View the things that don't appeal to you as a necessary evil if you must, but maybe look at them instead as something that will ensure this game you play will still be around years down the road.

It's been a while since i've played. But remembering how nasty the gators were, I really couldn't get on board with the concept. After reading through the thread and seeing the results I cant get "putting on the ritz" outta my head so Great Job! Top notch painting on the turtle shell!!

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." ( MJ)

Wow those gator gents my good sir are looking mighty refined and dauper if I do declare myself. I dont know but for some reason I could see one of the gators crossed dressed as scarlet o'hara.. maybe as gator o'reptile lol.. that and I could see a big band gator group too. This is such a cool idea you have going on.. it is awesome. I am from Canada too.. good to know you like us lol. Can't wait to see how everything else turns out.. and the river boat!

Fighting with axes is, of course, uncouth and shows a lack of culture. A proper Gatorgent, when forced to fight, will wield whatever he has on hand, be it his cane, fire poker, #2 driver, or croquet mallet.

The boat is part of a rather elaborate display board I'm working on, complete with ... a croquet lawn

Naturally, old horse, you'll be using wood croquet hoops? And not those dreadful tin things your Aunt Lavinia put in. Of course, you then have to worry about those bloody caribou nibbling on the hoops, but I'm sure they'll be gorn soon enough...

I just think of Gators in torn up gowns, kinda like Malifaux's rotten belles... cept, less zombie and more... gatory... unless you're running Maelok. Actually, I might do some myself for my next batch XD

After a long hiatus, I've finally gotten some work done on my Gatorgents. Behold: an Osseous Bevy!

I had to paint this guy while on the road, so the palette was a little limited and the camera was...yeah. I plan to finish up when I get home (fix the base, toss on some Morrow White highlights, final sepia light, light wash) and I'll try to get some better pictures, but for now we've got this. Enjoy!

Commenting just to give a discreet and a little bit reserved nod of approval, and get subscribe going on.

And if there ever was a Blindwater Congregate model that I thought would be impossible to convert into Genteel Collective, the Bone Swarm would have been it. Excellent work in making the impossible possible :P

edit: Oh! By the way, for inspiration if you're into movies, I might recommend Fitzcarraldo.

Reason: Remembered a film

I am returned home, have recovered my camera, and gotten to work on the home stretch of my Gatorgents, with the idea of finishing before TempleCon.

Next up: Gatorgents themselves!

This is just a minimum unit, with more on the way. Having bloodied his hands on the Blackhide, Plarzoid just couldn't keep away and so we find a terrifying Gatorgent attired in the former-gown of an unlucky lady. Ill-fitting to be sure, but certainly goes well with his cohorts.

Lastly, a quick update with the all of the Genteel Collective that is currently painted.
The keen-eyed observer will note the finished Osseous Bevy in the back.
